At least aim for 15 L. Pay scale has been changed. Also it depends on your current CTC and skill set. My friend who is in QA automation role with 8 YoE getting 34 L + some shares and JB.

You can talk to your existing company and ask if you can buy out or get an early release.

Never be afraid of asking.

Yes , definitely you are underpaid. Take this offer then try somewhere else say you already have 8lpa you want 10 and so on start negotiating over offer. You can reach till 20 lpa as well if you are skilled and have good communication skills.

Is ur skillset same as who posted?

Yes. Try for atleast 12l.

like

Just take the offer and then on notice period counter.
For Mumbai location you can easily get upto 12lpa
Pay in mumbai is less compared to what Banglore/Chennai/Hyd offers.

Speaking from experience I had offer from Citi Goregaon location as its my hometown they were only giving me 16lpa for C11 Manager grade. But one of my friend in Banglore is earning 22+ for same role and yoe.

They think you are Chris Jordan. You need to show them that you are a Jofra Archer. So atleast 12-14 lpa

Yay!!!!!! 😎😎

My previous ctc was 4.2L in Tcs 3.9 yoe . This is my first jump and I joined for 14Lpa in FIS global.
I also faced those questions as “you are asking more them 100% of ur current ctc”. Its all about Negotion. Get as many offers you can and negotiate.

Try experience * 2 atleast. bare minimum.

Yes you can negotiate even After accepting offer..

helpful

You have lot of time till your last day. You can counter the offers and reach till 23-24 LPA also. Just keep on trying and increasing the expected salary once you are one step up.

Yes absolutely. Any doubt? Doesn’t you know or research about current market!

Can u dm me ? Please

Yes definitely underpaid... U should try at least for 15lpa... But on the side are you fulfilled?

No, I'm aiming for more around 13 LPA or 15 may be.
Currently I have offer of 8.

Severely underpaid. Can easily get beyond 15LPA for the role and skills you possess

I'm aiming for this whenever I asked about this much of LPA. The way they raised their eyebrows like I asked their property 😀😂

funny

That was the rate in 2019. Now you can bargain for much higher.

smart

I think so your minimum pay should be at least 10 lac or more for 5 years of experience

helpful

Ikr🥺

Yes you are, please try looking for new options in your notice period. Each day update your notice period days left in your job application.

helpful

Bahut bahut shukriya bro💯 I will do this.

It's pretty less from they should have offered you. Try negotiating it.

helpful

absolutely yes, im suffering with the same ctc with same experience.. try another for atleast 13+...

like

Yes, I'm trying. or else I will try to negotiate with the current employer

Underpaid

For 4+ years of experience, it should minimum be 12LPA

Exactly!!! Now I'm aiming for this.

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons
